Over the course of my life, I have lived in near constant stress with extremely high stress jobs, draining family circumstances, and an undernourishing support system. I'm one of those people who is used to just pushing through and getting it done and oftentimes, I just don't expect other people to care about my issues or want to support me through tough times so I never asked. Like so many people who have my personality type, I probably have wounds related to times when I have asked and I've been severely let down and disappointed and I just learned to buck up and keep going without expecting much. Of course as I've grown I've learned to change my attitude about that and I am working on myself spiritually and allowing myself to open my heart a lot more. This change in attitude has brought great benefits to my life. In fact, this is the first time in my life where I haven't been under nearly daily amounts of very high stress but living that way so long took a toll on me. I developed a goiter and hypothyroidism by the time I was only 26 years old and ultimately, after almost 20 years of trying to get it to shrink (under doctor's care) it grew to the point of starting to block my airway, and I had to have it removed. Now that I am getting a regulated amount of thyroid hormone, I still have not been able to lose much weight and I still have moments of extreme anxiety. So I started to do some more research and adopted a ketogenic diet. I then researched further and discovered that some people who have symptoms of metabolic syndrome like I do, which includes estrogen dominance and insulin resistance/prediabetes, also can have high cortisol levels which can be exacerbated by a ketogenic diet. Who knew? All I can say is that I felt shattered to learn this as I deeply want to get healthy. But I knew something was off. On a ketogenic diet, most people report having almost no hunger. I had been feeling hungry and craving food all the time even while carefully tracking macros. I felt like I had reached my limit. I had tried everything and failed and was out of options. The only thing that doctors did for me was to put me on a high dose of Metformin and leave me there and that wasn't helping much either. So after researching the effects of high cortisol and the ketogenic diet, I decided that it was worth sticking with the plan because of all the health benefits and the simplicity of eating whole foods and healthy fats. I'm at the point of wanting a lifestyle change and not another quick, fad diet. I didn't want to give up the progress I had made in giving up a carb and sugar addiction.. I just needed a way to heal from adrenal fatigue. So, I decided to give this supplement a try. It's only been a little over a week. Right away, I felt calmer the first day I took it. I don't feel like I'm starving for food. I may still be overdoing it slightly on my caloric requirements but I'm nowhere near as ravenous as I was. This is a first for me after over a month of being on a ketogenic diet. I have found, maybe because my cortisol levels must have been very high, that I can take two of these pills. The recommended dosage on the back of the bottle is one pill per day and up to 2 if you are going undergoing a lot of stress. I'm currently not under extreme stress but I think I was suffering from extreme adrenal burnout for years and that my body is benefiting from taking two right now. I can take one in the daytime and it doesn't make me drowsy at work. All it does is keep me calm. Then, I can take another at night and I sleep like a baby. I'm so grateful to Les labs for creating this supplement. It is helping me. I hope that the benefits are multiplied as I continue to take it and heal.

I'm going on my third week. I researched about the ingredients and love the fact that they're all natural. I workout regularly, I'm 54 years old, 125 lbs and what I thought it was cellulite on my legs, it turned out to be cortisol. I sleep better now, anxiety not in the picture, feel energized, I look slimmer, I focused more, my legs look great! My hair is growing!, better mood, I'm happier!... need to say more? I will tell my friends, acquaintances and family about it. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT! P.S. please, this product is not magical, note that you need to have good healthy life habits, hydrate properly, at least do cardio or walks. You do need to take breaks taking it, (like any other suplements) when your bottle is empty, rest for a few weeks, then start again. Good luck!

i've been piling on weight without obvious reason for the past six months, so, suspecting elevated cortisol was the reason (after looking up symptoms of said, nearly all of which i have, and my diet certainly would result in elevated cortisol), i decided to try this product. i also have a tendency to wake up in the middle of the night and STAY awake for two or three hours, so based on reviews, that further induced me to give this a shot. it's only been a week and certainly hasn't proven itself some sort of weight loss miracle and i don't anticipate any relief to that end, but what it has done is allow me to drift peacefully into sleep, deeply so, and even though i still wake up at 3 or 4a, i drift back off into sleep almost immediately. for the sleep benefits alone, i find this product worthwhile. it also seems to have lowered my stress/anxiety levels noticeably, though that might actually be because i'm sleeping again. but indeed, overall, i'm much more even-keeled than i've been in years; even high stress situations at work that two weeks ago resulted in me almost physically blowing my top and being annoyed for another hour are now more of a mild spike in adrenaline that settles down almost immediately. it would be nice to be able to say i've magically melted off five pounds in the first week, but i can't say that. all i can say is that i feel much more pleasant overall, and am sleeping much better. we'll see after the bottle is empty if i feel it worth it to buy another (i'm also a little unsure about taking a cortisol blocker long term when i haven't actually been diagnosed as having elevated cortisol), but at this point, i'm certainly not inclined to say 'it doesn't work' and return it.

Just ordered another bottle. I genuinely feel more rested and have a deep sleep. Not sure about my cortisol levels, but I am hopeful to keep seeing more longer lasting results as I continue to take it. I don't feel any side effects, and the there is no taste or smell to the capsule. Some have said skin improvement, I personally have not seen this to date.

Even though this review is being published in the 4-Star rating, I know that most people don't read the 1, 2, & 3 stars, to make a purchase decision. It would be a good idea for buyers, not to ignore them. I started taking these Les Cortisol Health pills in 2019 because I was told that I was peri-menopausal, with stress and anxiety levels high. In addition to that, I had been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure and Sleep Apnea. When I first started to take the pills they were great because the 1-pill before bedtime with (no other medications), helped me to sleep soundly. This was a big plus because before I had interrupted sleep 3 - 4 times a night and not feeling well-rested. At first, I was getting good sleep and I ignored the other symptoms below and kept blaming preexisting conditions. However, as I continue to take the pill, I realized that I was experiencing more symptoms. I took a break from taking the pills and tried to take them every other month. After taking the pills alternating months for 90 days, started to focus on the symptoms, to try to do the process of elimination of what was causing them. When I stopped taking the pill, symptoms disappeared and returned when I restarted taking the Les Cortisol Health pill. I was blaming my daily workout...for the... Joint Pain from bones aches (lower back, knee, finger joints). Even though I did not experience that level of pain before I started taking the Les Cortisol. I was blaming my diet for what I ate the night before...In the morning my... blood pressure would jump 30 points than normal. When the previous night's BP reading was 30 points less. My heart rate spiked up at least 20 points than normal in the morning. I was blaming my peri-menopausal state...when I experienced night sweats 2 to 3 times at night even though I did not have them for the last few years. Yes! I know sweats occur during menopause, but I know what my triggers are so I avoid those foods/drinks. I experienced insane dryness in the throat and would drink lots of water in the morning. I saw my doctor and was advised to immediately stopped the pill. All the symptoms above went away. Now, I am looking for a new natural pill that would not cause all of these symptoms. I am aware that individuals have different body, blood types, and medical conditions that they are battling. For those of you who don't have ailments, I am glad that this pill worked out for you. I just wanted to share the above experiences in case they can be helpful to someone. Good Luck in deciding what is right for your body.

I felt like I had taken Xanax, I could hardly walk after taking this. I woke up at 1:30 AM and couldn't go back to sleep. My heart rate seemed very slow. I don't think it is something I should take. But it may be for you?

Did I mention I LOVE THIS PRODUCT? I am not a paid reviewer, just a regular person on a healing journey. My boyfriend found this product on Amazon and we decided to try this to help me with my stress levels. I had told him "I feel like I just can't relax, and everything is stressing me out. I feel like I even if I won a million dollars I wouldn't care because I'm just too stressed, and nothing can calm me down". I immediately felt improvement after taking this product for the first time, and as I stayed on it, my stress levels have gone way down. I feel an inner peace and calm, and don't seem to react like I used to, in times or stress, or in stressful situations. I started out taking 1 capsule in the morning and 1 in evening. Then I switched to 2 capsules at bedtime-and actually, this has helped REGULATE MY SLEEP! No more insomnia, no more tossing and turning. Be careful b/c this product can make you ZONK OUT and sleep late, if taken too late at night. I like taking this around 7 pm or so, this way I'm starting to get tired by 11 or 12. Sometimes I forget to take this, and then when I realize it's past midnight and I am still wide awake, I take this product and I get tired fairly quickly. So here's my long awaited review. It's a little pricey but worth it, as it helps so much. I can't believe it's only got 66% 5 star reviews. This product is amazing and I recommend to give it a try. I just started giving my 78 lb dog a pill in the evenings and she's been SO calm and so much happier. She looks like she is sleeping so well! For the cats I ordered ashwaganda powder and they've been also doing really well on it. I believe this particular formula has the perfect blend of Ashwaganda and ingredients. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for help with their adrenals, lower stress levels, and a great night's sleep or help with Insomnia. I'm sure there are many other benefits as well.

I tried this supplement (Cortisol Health) because I was having trouble sleeping and feeling stressed all the time. For the first two weeks, it actually worked really well—I was sleeping better and felt more relaxed. I thought I had found the perfect solution. But by week three, things started to go downhill. My sleep got really light, and I kept waking up during the night. By the end of week four, I couldn’t sleep at all, my heart was racing, I felt super tense and anxious, and honestly, I thought I was getting the flu. I was exhausted, really hungry all the time, and just felt awful. Then I looked into the ingredients and realized it has ashwagandha in it. I didn’t know much about it before, but after doing some research (and chatting with GPT), I found out that while ashwagandha is supposed to help with stress, it can actually make anxiety worse for some people—causing things like insomnia, racing heart, and feeling overstimulated. That explained a lot. I stopped taking it immediately, and my heart rate went back to normal and my appetite leveled out, but now I’m dealing with what feels like withdrawal. I’ve felt really down the past couple of days and still having super vivid dreams. Hoping it passes soon. Just wanted to share my experience in case anyone else is sensitive to ashwagandha. It might work for some, but for me, it ended up doing way more harm than good.

It's okay
